<<<(Spencers P.O.V)>>>

"H-hi, I'm Spencer and I'm a drug addict."

"Hi Spencer." Everyone in the room replied, their eyes drilled a hole in my head. I was sweating like crazy.

"I've been clean for 3 days now." I slowly started. Only be to thrown off with a big applause. This made me feel really uncomfortable. To me it didn't feel like a big victory. I was weak, letting myself be tempted by dilaudid, like I have.

"I-I... This is my first meeting." I felt like I was having a panic attack. Why did Hotch me do to this?

The leader of the meeting encouraged me to keep going, but I didn't I could. I just wanted to disappear.

"Well... U-uhm.."

My eyes locked with a h/c haired male. He just looked at me with a big frown, then he stood up and walked to me. "Thank you Spencer for sharing. My turn now." I silently thanked him for saving me. I quickly headed back to my seat. I've never been good at talking in front of big groups especially, not back in high school, and not now either.

"Hi I'm Y/n and well, I'm a drug addict." He added with a little chuckle, like it was not a big deal.

"Hi Y/n." We all replied.

"Last weekend I met my ex with his new girlfriend. He basically spit in my face." He sounded bitter and sad. "When I got home I was tempted to use again." He shamefully admitted.

"But I didn't... I've been clean for 2 years, 5 months and 18 days now and I want to stay that way." He finished with a proud smile. Like they did with during my share, everyone in the hall started clapping. I hesitantly clapped along.

"That was all. Thanks for listening." And he went to leave the stage. The next person stood up and went to do her share.

Just when I thought he was going back to his seat, he walked to me and sat next to me. I nervously shifted in my seat. "You did good." He whispered to me. "Not bad at all for a first meeting."

"T-thanks, I guess." I muttered back.

~~~Small timeskip~~~

"Thank you all for listening."

That was the last share. Finally this hell is over.

"Thank you all for sharing. See you all next week." The leader of the meeting said and everyone started to get up to leave.

I got my bag and wanted to get the hell out of here but I was stopped by Y/n. "Hey Spencer. Want to go get something to drink?"

I didn't want to, but didn't know how to refuse so I nodded. He lead me to the closest cafe.

"How are you?" He asked while he ordered our drinks. I simply shrugged as answer.

"I thought it was very brave of you to come." He continued.

"It wasn't my choice, like it wasn't my choice to start using in the first place." He send me sympathetic look. "You don't have to tell me yet, if you don't want to."

"Share when you are ready."

I nodded at him and took a nervous sip of my drink.

"You know, next week is animal week. We're going to the local farm, as they say animals are the perfect distraction from using."

"I don't think I'm going. I can't, I'm not that strong. I'm not strong like you." I mean 2 and a half years clean, like him, that could only be a dream for me.

He let out a small laugh, which caused me to glare at him. Is he making fun of me?

"I was just like you, two years ago. Never would I thought I could stay away from it. It was my everything, my heaven. But I had an amazing sponsor, he stood by me, through all my bad and good days."

"You just need someone like that. I can be that person, I can help you. Just let me help you." He almost begged me. I didn't want help. I just want to sink into the ground.

He took my hand and gave me a kind smile. "I'll be your sponsor if you want. Together we can beat the drugs."

I didn't answer and just looked down at my lap. "What was it?"

He looked confused at me for a second, before he realized what I meant. "My poison? LSD, Xtc, coke and some weed sometimes."

I gave him a quick nod. "Have you really been clean for so long?"

Without any words he reached into his shirt grabbing a necklace with two NA coins on it. He took it off and handed it to me. "One for each year." He said with pride in his voice.

I looked at it in admiration. As I went to give him the necklace back. But he stopped my hand. "Give it back to me next week during the next meeting. See it as motivation to come." And he send me a wink.

Maybe just maybe, this can actually work.
